How to Convert BCD to Decimal?

  • First Split the BCD into nibbles(4 digits)

  • Write equivalent decimal no for each nibbles

  • Let's consider an example to Convert (100000110010)BCD binary to decimal

  • Split BCD into 4 digits as shown: 1000 0011 0010

  • (1000) becomes 8,(0011) becomes 3,(0010) becomes 2

  • Combine the decimal digits 832

  • (100000110010)BCD=(832)10

How To Convert Decimal to BCD?

  • Write binary nibble for each digit of decimal

  • Let's consider an example to Convert 236 decimal to BCD

  • Binary Equivalent for 2 is 0010,Binary Equivalent for 3 is 0011,Binary Equivalent for 6 is 0110

  • Combine all the binary numbers

  • (236)10 = (001000110110)BCD

  • Binary Code decimal is the process of converting decimal numbers into their binary equivalents

  • 8421 is also called as BCD code which is expresses in 4 bit binary numbers according to their place value 8421 (2³ 2² 2¹ 2⁰ = 8421).

  • Write the binary equivalent for each decimal digit and then combine the values.

  • First Split the BCD into nibbles(4 digits).Then write equivalent decimal no for each nibbles.Finally Combine the decimal numbers.

  • Binary represents 0 and 1 whereas BCD represents binary code decimal . Binary value is not coded separately whereas BCD value is coded separately. Base value of binary is 2 whereas for BCD is 4. Binary is number system whereas BCD is coding system.

  • BCD is used in clock time and also for displaying alpha numberic values

  • bcd 2421 is also called as Aiken code.It is reflective.
